Was Biden there to catch 0bammy if he fainted? Or just to keep 0bammy from being the dumbest A hole at the podium?

[Marathoner]

Well, now he can get back to normal duties, you know, promoting sodomy and that sort of thing.

[Yaelle]

How do you say “High Five” in Russian?

No one else would [bleeping] stand next to him for this one!! He told Joe they could play catch after.

[Starboard]

Looks like Obama crossed the public’s red line.

Obama will not be humiliated. He will have it both ways. If Congress approves, he is vindicated and he will be praised for going to Congress. If he loses, he can take the moral high ground and say he supports humanitarian principles but will defer to the will of Congress and the American people.

The question that should be asked, is if this is so important and urgent, why not call back Congress immediately and get a vote? He is waiting until at least September 9th.

[Errant]

He’s was pissed! They’ll be hell to pay now... Wonder who in this administration or our military he takes his wrath out on now?!

[TLI]

The parties in the Middle East are laughing their butts off.

Of course they are. They will make billions off of the new pipeline they can now build.

A bothersome little war would have delayed it for years.

LOL

[Toespi]

Look for another chemical attack within days.......brought to you by BHO.

[Yaelle]

And Wallace is agreeing with the Limbaugh Doctrine!! He just said that Obama is still campaigning! A debate!

[bunster]

“Why is Boehner so quiet?”

You askin’ me? Dunno — maybe he thinks it is as stupid as most of us do and doesn’t want to say anything. I wouldn’t

[relee]

Henceforth, the office of the President shall be known as IMPOTUS

LoL!

[Dog]

Sadly this isn't funny....this is serious shit....this is a humiliation of the United States of America.

I'm not calling you out....just pointing out a sad fact.

[no-to-illegals]

Thank You Lord for this blessing. Amen.

[kabar]

He doesn’t have to wait for Congress to come back. He can order them to return rather than waiting until September 9. He is again having it both ways.
